Imperial  Porcelain 

I/tiperial  Porcelain , in  its  application  to  plumbing 
appliances,  has  long  since  passed  beyond  the  experimental  stage ; 
indeed,  it  is  unquestionably  the  ideal,  and  as  such  is  now  being 
exclusively  employed  in  the  best  private  and  public  buildings. 

It  was  ear  lx  in  the  So ' s that  we  began  the  importation 
from  England  of  Imperial  Porcelain;  and,  while  its  merits  were 
appreciated,  yet  the  English  manufacturers  did  not  possess  the  art 
of  producing  the  ware  in  the  artistic  shapes  and  designs  or  of  the 
high  quality  produced  by  us  to-day. 

The  _ year  180/J.  marked  a?i  epoch  in  the  manufacture 
of  sanitary  appliances  in  the  United  States,  viz.,  the  establishing  of 
our  Imperial  Porcelain  Works  in  Trenton,  N.  J.  Immediate  im- 
provement over  the  English  ware  was  the  result,  but  it  was  not 
until  1896  that  what  was  practically  a revolution  took  place.  Our 
original  works  burned  down  to  be  superseded  by  a plant  that  is  the 
most  complete  and  perfect  in  existence  and  which  enables  us  to 
produce  Imperial  Porcelain  so  superior  in  quality  as  to  enable  us 
to  export  it  largely  to  England  and  the  continent  of  Europe. 
This  is  indeed  like  “sending  coals  to  Newcastle"  and  is  perhaps 
unparalleled  in  the  history  of  American  manufactures. 

The  requirements  of  modern  plumbing  are  such  that 
the  various  appliances  must  not  onlv  be  of  a high  standard  from  a 
sanitary  standpoint,  but  also  artistic  in  design  and  construction. 
Our  unequaled  success  in  this  direction  has  been  largely  due  to  the 
fact  that  we  have  always  kept  this  idea  in  view.  The  outcome  has 
been  that  the  bath  room  of  to-day  constitutes  a primary  feature  in 
the  “ House  Beautiful,"  and  no  factor  has  contributed  more  to  this 
condition  than  Imperial  Porcelain.

Imperial  Porcelain  Lavatories 

Custom  and  tradition  have  been  deservedly  swept  aside 
by  the  supplanting  of  marble  lavatories  by  those  of  Imperial 
Porcelain.  Evolutions  of  consecjuence  are  as  a rule  gradual,  and  it 
is  seldom  that  one  article  that  takes  the  place  of  another  is  so 
immeasurably  superior  as  is  the  Imperial  Porcelain  Lavatory  to  all 
that  have  preceded  it.  No  matter  what  the  point  of  view,  the 
Imperial  Porcelain  Lavatory  stands  out  boldly  and  strongly  as  the 
very  best  thing  of  its  kind  yet  produced. 

‘ The  advantages  of  the  Imperial  Porcelain  Lavatory 
may  be  divided  in  two  classes,  viz.,  sanitary  and  those  of  appearance. 
Among  the  former  are  its  glazed  surface,  rendering  it  non-absorbent 
and  unstai nable.  The  slab  and  basin  are  in  one  piece,  obviating 
the  joints  so  objectionable  in  the  marble  lavatory.  As  to  its 
appearance,  no  description  can  do  justice  to  the  beautiful  glaze,  and 
its  color,  a soft  china  white — so  desirable  in  a sanitary  appliance, 
as  it  appeals  both  to  the  eye  and  to  the  judgment.  In  shape  and 
design  the  Imperial  Porcelain  admits  of  effects  utterly  impossible 
with  marble. 

To  those  who  intend  buildmg  and  can  visit  either  of 
our  showrooms  in  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Boston  and  Chicago, 
no  words  of  praise  from  us  are  necessary — the  lavatories  will 
speak  for  themselves.  When,  however,  it  is  not  possible  to 
give  us  the  pleasure  of  a visit,  we  feel  that  a careful  examination 
of  this  catalogue  will  convince  the  most  skeptical  that  for  all 
classes  of  buildings,  for  the  residential  mansion  and  for  the  high 
class  hotel,  there  is  but  one  lavatory,  and  that  is  the  Imperial 
Porcelain.

Modern  plumbing  as  applied  to  a bath  room  does  not  consist  merely  of  three 
or  four  appliances  that  bear  no  relation  one  to  the  other  either  in  construction, 
design  or  decoration.  On  the  contrary,  each  element,  whether  the  bath,  lavatory, 
water  closet  or  tiling,  should  be  selected  so  that  the  bath  room  as  a whole  produces 
an  artistic  effect  and  satisfies  the  critical  eye.  Plate  2039-R  demonstrates  what  we 
have  accomplished  in  this  direction,  a factor  of  great  importance  being  the  imperial 
porcelain  lavatory.  This,  with  its  beautiful  china-white  surface  decorated  in  gold 
and  colors  and  with  the  delicate  curves  of  the  “Rococo”  shape,  effects  a result 
utterly  impossible  with  marble.

The  advantages  of  imperial  porcelain  as  applied  to  fine  plumbing  appliances 
are  accentuated  in  Plate  2080-R.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  lavatory  is  keyed  into 
the  tile  wall  same  as  the  “Baronial”  bath,  with  the  lavatory  fittings  such  as  soap, 
sponge  and  brush  holders  permanently  fixed,  also  the  mirror  set  in  tile  frame.  No 
illustration  can  do  justice  to  Plate  2080-R,  nor  portray  the  beautiful  effect  of  the 
china-white  glaze  of  the  bath  and  lavatory  blending  into  the  tiled  wall. 

The  water  closet  is  shown  in  an  adjoining  apartment,  having  doors  opening 
into  the  bath  room  and  hall.

The  beautiful  effect  of  white  and  gold  decoration  (“  Colonial  ”)  is  well  known 
and  it  loses  none  of  its  attractiveness  when  applied  to  an  imperial  porcelain 
lavatory.  As  a matter  of  fact,  the  china-white  glaze  of  the  lavatory  is  peculiarly 
adapted  to  receive  not  only  the  “ Colonial  ” decoration  of  Plate  4034-R,  but  all  the 
others  that  follow.  It  is  in  the  possibilities  of  decoration  that  one  of  the  numerous 
advantages  of  imperial  porcelain  over  marble  is  manifest.  The  only  available 
place  for  decoration  in  a marble  .lavatory  is  inside  the  basin.  The  imperial 
porcelain  lavatory  admits  of  decoration  on  the  outside,  the  back  and  the  legs,  with 
either  none  at  all  in  the  basin  or  merely  a suggestion  of  the  general  design. 


Notice. — The  artistic  shapes  and  designs  and  decorations  of  the  imperial  porcelain  lavatories 
are  the  outcome  of  considerable  time,  experiment  and  expense.  They  are  all  either  patented  or 
patent  applied  for.  Any  infringement  of  our  rights  will  be  promptly  and  rigorously  prosecuted.

Aside  from  the  cleanly  and  inviting  appearance  of  the  imperial  porcelain 
lavatory,  with  its  heavy  china-white  glaze,  the  elements  of  strength  and  durability 
exist  in  a high  degree.  It  is  made  in  one  piece  of  a thickness  of  nearly  2 inches — 
a glance  at  the  sections  will  indicate  this  feature — and  the  basin  is  full  size.  In 
the  ordinary  marble  lavatory  the  joint  between  the  slab  and  basin  has  always 
been  recognized  as  an  objectionable  feature  ; moreover,  the  overlap  of  the  slab 
diminishes  the  effective  size  of  the  basin  1 to  1%  inches.

A Sevres  vase,  a Dresden  or  Cauldon  china  decorated  dinner  set — these  are 
what  come  to  mind  when  seeing  for  the  first  time  our  decorated  imperial  porcelain 
lavatories.  Indeed,  the  beautiful  effect  of  the  decoration  upon  the  china-white  glaze 
of  the  imperial  porcelain  ware  is  so  artistic  and  satisfying  to  the  eye  that  the 
practical  and  sanitary  advantages  of  the  lavatory  are  for  a moment  lost  sight  of. 
Heretofore,  in  a fine  bath  room,  the  lavatory  was  necessarily  of  onyx,  which  is  very 
expensive  as  compared  with  imperial  porcelain  and  by  no  means  so  well  adapted 
for  the  purpose.

the  first  to  appreciate  this  fact  and  to  establish  for  the  mirror  its  proper  relation  and 
just  proportion  to  the  various  lavatories.  The  mirrors  shown  in  this  catalogue  are 
special  designs  and  their  appropriateness  for  use  in  conjunction  with  the  imperial 
porcelain  lavatories  is  manifest.  Our  mirrors  are  all  first  quality  plate  glass,  the

To  give  an  idea  how  acceptable  the  imperial  porcelain  lavatories  are  to  those 
who  have  them,  we  subjoin  the  following  from  one  of  the  most  prominent  plumbers 
in  New  York  City:  “It  gives  me  pleasure  to  inform  you  that  the  imperial  porce- 
lain lavatories  that  I purchased  from  you  have  given  entire  satisfaction.  Without 
exception,  my  customers  are  highly  pleased  and  have  expressed  their  preference 
for  them  over  marble.  I shall  unhesitatingly  recommend  the  imperial  porcelain 
lavatory  in  preference  to  marble,  as  I consider  it  superior  in  every  way.”

those  desiring  purity  and  cleanliness.  Other  features  of  this  lavatory  are  its

tories. In  the  first  place  the  tint  of  the  tile  blends  perfectly  with  the  porcelain,  and 
the  effect  of  the  mass  of  china-white  is  simply  superb.  The  “ Victorian ’’  and 
“ Boylston  ” (as  are  all  our  imperial  porcelain  lavatories)  are  a triumph  of  the 
potter’s  art  and  will  prove  a source  of  never-ending  satisfaction  to  those  who  are  so 
fortunate  as  to  have  them  in  their  bath  rooms.

Our  imperial  porcelain  lavatories  in  their  various  forms  are  supplanting  marble 
both  for  private  and  public  work,  and  there  are  many  reasons  why  they  should. 
There  is  no  joint  between  the  slab  and  basin  ; the  ware  is  non-absorbent  and  un- 
stainable ; and  above  all  is  the  smooth  china-white  glaze  that  appeals  to  those  who 
desire  a clean  sanitary-appearing  lavatory. 

The  classification  of  our  imperial  porcelain  ware  is  very  high.  The  Class  A 
represents  the  highest  grade  of  perfection  obtainable  with  these  large  pieces  of 
porcelain,  while  Class  B and  Class  C can  be  used  to  advantage  where  cost  is  a 
consideration,  as  they  have  only  slight  marks  or  lines  that  do  not  detract  from  their 
durability  or  usefulness.

The  arrangement  of  supply  and  shampoo  as  Plate  4043-R  is  unquestionably 
the  best,  simplest  and  most  convenient  yet  devised.  When  the  shampoo  is  not  in 
use,  as  shown,  water  will  pass  only  to  the  basin.  By  giving  the  shampoo  a quarter 
turn  to  the  front  the  supply  is  opened  to  the  shampoo  and  simultaneously  closed 
to  the  basin.

The  illustration  shows  the  lavatory  keyed  into  tile  wall,  with  all  the  fittings,  such 
as  soap,  sponge  and  brush  holders,  permanently  fixed,  also  the  mirror  set  in  tile 
frame.  The  arrangement  is  most  complete  and  exceedingly  pleasing  to  the  eye, 
the  lavatory  being  one  solid  piece  without  joint  or  seam  and  equal  in  color  to  the 
finest  china. 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  tiles  finish  on  the  raised  rim  at  the  back  of  the 
lavatory.  As  the  raised  rim  is  about  one  inch  above  the  level  of  the  lavatory  it  is 
obvious  that  the  joint  between  the  lavatory  and  tiles  will  not  become  discolored 
and  objectionable,  which  cannot  be  said  of  the  ordinary  marble  lavatory.

The  “ Compacto  ” was  designed  especially  for  use  in  hotels,  apartment 
houses,  office  buildings,  etc.,  and  its  advantages  are  quite  apparent.  The  lavatory 
occupies  but  a minimum  of  space,  yet,  in  common  with  all  our  imperial  porcelain 
lavatories,  it  has  a very  large  basin  compared  to  the  size  of  the  slab.  The  tile 
finishes  on  the  raised  rim  on  the  back  of  the  lavatory,  bringing  the  joint  an  inch  or 
more  above  the  level  of  the  slab,  a most  important  feature.  Nothing  can  exceed 
the  effect  of  neatness  and  cleanliness  produced  by  the  combination  of  the  china- 
white  glaze  of  the  lavatory  and  the  tiled  wall.  The  imperial  porcelain  standard  is 
entirely  in  harmony  with  the  lavatory,  and  as  it  takes  the  place  of  a nickel-plated 
brass  leg,  the  necessity  of  cleaning  and  polishing  the  latter  is  obviated — indeed,  in 
any  large  building,  the  servant’s  time  saved  in  cleaning  the  metal  legs  will  pay  for 
the  lavatory  in  a year  or  less. 

Plate  4054-R  shows  the  lavatory  for  right-hand  corner;  when  ordering,  state 
if  for  right  or  left-hand  corner.

The  illustration  shows  a set  of  three  lavatories,  which  can  be  increased  to  any 
desired  number,  or  it  may  consist  of  two  lavatories. 

The  lavatories  are  preferably  placed  two  inches  apart ; they  can,  however,  be 
placed  closer  together  if  desired. 

No  lavatory,  either  marble  or  enameled  iron,  is  to  be  compared  with  the 
“Tremont”  imperial  porcelain  for  use  in  public  buildings,  hotel  wash  rooms,  schools, 
factories,  in  fact,  under  any  conditions  where  a number  of  lavatories  are  set  up  in  a 
row.  The  entire  arrangement  is  sanitary-perfect.  The  lavatories  stand  free  from 
the  wall ; there  is  a space  between  each  lavatory,  thus  there  are  absolutely  no 
joints  or  recesses.  The  legs,  which  are  of  iron,  preferably  painted  white-enamel, 
have  cross  pieces,  with  nickel-plated  brass  wall  attachments,  which  extend  back  to 
the  wall  and  afford  a firm,  rigid  support.  Of  course,  a tiled  or  enameled  brick  wall 
makes  the  best  job,  but  it  may  be  plastered  if  expense  is  a consideration.  A row 
of  these  lavatories  with  their  bright  china-white  glaze  against  a background  of  tile 
or  enamel  brick  conveys  an  idea  of  appropriateness,  cleanliness  and  neatness  that 
must  impress  whomsoever  sees  them.  To  repeat,  the  “Tremont”  is  the  ideal 
lavatory  for  the  above-named  class  of  buildings.

The  lavatories  are  preferably  placed  two  inches  apart  as  shown  ; they  can, 
however,  be  placed  closer  together  if  desired. 

The  classification  of  our  imperial  porcelain  ware  is  very  high.  The  Class  A 
represents  the  highest  grade  of  perfection  obtainable  with  these  large  pieces  of 
porcelain,  while  the  Class  B are  really  fine  goods.  The  latter  can  be  used  to 
advantage  when  cost  is  a consideration,  as  they  have  only  slight  marks  or  lines 
that  do  not  detract  from  their  durability  or  usefulness.  The  “ Colonial  ” are 
glazed  a light  buff  and  we  recommend  them  for  institutions  where  a strong,  cleanly 
and  durable  lavatory  is  desired.

This  lavatory  is  designed  for  use  in  schools,  institutions  and  factories  where  a 
number  of  persons  wash  at  the  same  time,  the  water  supply  being  turned  on  and 
off  (by  the  man  in  charge)  by  a stop  cock  which  controls  the  supply  to  the  entire 
range.  The  feature  of  the  arrangement  is  that  each  person  washes  in  running 
water,  which,  in  the  case  of  school  children,  is  particularly  desirable,  as  it  eliminates 
the  possibility  of  contagion  and  prevents  them  washing  in  water  that  has  previously 
been  used.  There  is  no  waste  plug,  the  outlet  being  always  open,  consequently  the 
lavatory  requires  no  overflow.  It  is  advisable  to  fit  one  lavatory  in  each  range 
with  a faucet  for  the  convenience  of  those  who  might  wish  to  wash  during  the  hours 
when  the  main  supply  is  not  turned  on.

Section  of  Mott’s  patent  self-closing  basin  faucet,  nickel- 
plated,  per  pair 5S  00 

Plate  3S2-R  closes  with  the  pressure,  consequently  the  strength 
of  the  spring  is  a minimum  as  compared  with  faucets  which  close 
against  the  pressure.  In  the  latter  case  the  spring  must  be  very 
heavy  and  requires  the  exertion  of  great  power  to  open  the  faucet, 
whereas  Mott’s  patent  can  be  opened  and  held  open  without  effort. 
It  has  been  satisfactorily  tested,  and  we  strongly  recommend  it  to 
those  who  desire  a strictly  first-class  self-closing  faucet.  It  is 
regularly  made  with  wheel  handle,  as  shown,  so  that  by  no  means 
can  it  be  permanently  kept  open  when  not  actually  in  use.  If

The  “Unique”  waste 
is  without  doubt  the  most 
complete,  the  simplest, 
and  the  very  best  device 
ever  made  for  connect- 
ing and  controlling  the 
overflow  and  waste  of  a 
wash  basin. 

The  stand  pipe  can  be 
taken  out  and  cleaned  with 
the  same  facility  as  an 
open  standing  waste,  and 
without  the  use  of  any  tool 
whatever. 


The  “ Primus  " is  a novel 
combination  of  supply  with 
our  celebrated  “ Unique  ” 
waste.  Cold  and  hot  water 
may  be  drawn  separately,  or 
tepid  water  may  be  obtained 
by  opening  both  the  cold 
and  hot  water  valves.  The 
low-down  supply  is  prefera- 
ble to  the  ordinary  faucets, 
which  project  into  the  basin, 
and  are  more  or  less  in  the 
way.  There  is  but  little  brass 
work  above  the  slab  to  be 
kept  clean.  The  fine  ap- 
pearance of  the  “ Primus  ” 
combination  is  enhanced  by 
the  beautiful  china  handles, 
which  are  preferable  to  metal 
for  the  reason  that  the  platin

Simplicity  and  directness  of  operation  characterize  the  “ Nassau  " waste.  The 
waste  rod  acts  directly  upon  the  stopper,  and  there  is  no  liability  of  derangement. 
The  overflow  is  unusually  large  and  can  be  readily  cleaned.

The  outlet  of  the  basin  is  at  the  back,  bringing  the  plug  and  chain  well  out  of 
the  way.  The  chain  is  extra  heavy.  The  overflow  is  glazed  inside  and  is  accessi- 
ble for  cleaning  by  simply  unscrewing  the  bolt,  which  also  forms  the  chain  stay.
